rocky commented on the article |I have to agree with Ms. Greenhouse on this even though these individuals should be thanked for their service where is the line of empathy and when does the U.S. Supreme Court or other courts know when to cross and even more so when theyahave crossed it. The Supreme Court Irrationality in making a decision shouldn't allow one man to live and one to die when they both committed the same crime.

rocky commented on the article |One of the most interesting blogs i've read in a while. Just as the entire country of Russia is at a crossroads now so their judicial system. Having been abolished in 1999 the battle over whether or not to reinstate the death penalty begins again in Russia. With the move to jury trials coming at a swift pace in Russia it may only be a matter of time before Capital Punishment is reinstated as well. there is one other comment on this story and the person who commented I guess decided on the route of sarcasm as she appeared astonished that Russia would reinstate the death penalty before coming to the realizaton that the United States and its frequent use of the Death Penalty has already made this a noticeable problem around the world.

rocky commented on the article |This blog really caught my attention and brought forth a question that is probably going unoticed across the country; Are we looking to trim our budgets by also triming the way we fight crime and bring criminals to justice??? I know that in a recession period people and business are doing anything and everything they can to save money for their states, but should we jepordize the effectiveness of a states' ability to punish criminals to help save a budget that shouldn't have been overspent in the first place. I am the first person to comment on this blog.

rocky commented on the article |Sadly the more things change the more they stay the same. Nations today are trying to upgrade their use of technology slowly but surely in the underdeveloped nations of the world while at the same time Nations like these which include Cuba and Tunisia are still trying to silence their own people from receiving information that is not a threat against their government but infromation which would help expand the thoughts of its citizens. I am the first person to comment on this blog.

rocky commented on the article |I find this column to be extremely interesting and really surprising in my mind. It amazes me like there seems to be people willing to change their ways for the sake of a community. It also brings about an interesting theory. You don't need police violence or the threat of potential police brutality to bring down "the bad guys" all you need is honesty.

rocky commented on the article |I personally have no interest in these shows whatsoever. This shows love to glamorize the criminal justice system and make people believe that in a span of 30 minutes to an hour crimes are easily solved and that criminals are brought to justice at the snap of a finger. Unfortunately anyone who has any history in the criminal justice system knows that this is far from the case. Sometimes cases take months even years for a case to be solved and sometimes the case isn't solved at all.

rocky commented on the article |The numbers of those who have children who are incarcerated annually are astonding. Many people tend to just look at the offender who has committed the crime and how their life is affected but many forget that these men and women may have children they are leaving behind while serving their prison sentences with aunts, uncles and other relatives who will end up raising these kids and leaving them without their father and or mother to raise them and developent their fundemental growth.

rocky commented on the article |Life Without Parole for juveniles, a hot topic with many different possible answers and resolutions but with the same question that even with an answer will always be asked: Does life in prison for juveniles actually work???
I know I will take tons of heat for my opinion but I believe life in prison is the answer for juvenile offenders of major crimes. Many people will state that life in prison for juveniles prevents them from living life and growing up to realize the severity of their crimes and would deter a chance at reform. I feel that juveniles who actually committ these crimes have already decided that they are "adults" who can do whatever they want without anyone holding them down. With that theory also comes the counter theory that I believe in that if they are old enough to committ these heinous acts they are also old enough and responsible enough to accept the consequences that follow.
I take heart in the old addege "If you do the crime you do the time. Yes it seems harsh but the juveniles in question made a choice and followed a path and with that they should take responsibility for their actions even if that means spending the rest of their lives behind bars.
